Brassica oleracea var. italica.
Waltham 29 Broccoli is a heirloom variety recognized for its robustness, its generosity and its exceptional flavour. Loved by generations of gardeners, this broccoli develops magnificent compact heads of deep green, rich in texture and taste.
Particularly suited to cooler climates, Waltham 29 stands out for its strong cold-resistance and its ability to produce abundantly late into the season. After the harvest of the main head, it often continues to offer numerous tender, flavourful side shoots — prolonging the pleasure of garden harvests.
Its ample, vigorous foliage brings a lush presence to the garden, while its firm, nutritious heads embody all the richness of vegetables cultivated with patience and care. In the kitchen, Waltham 29 reveals a mild, lightly sweet, deeply vegetal flavour — delicious both raw and cooked.
Easy to grow and reliable, this heirloom broccoli has become a classic of family and organic vegetable gardens. It evokes the autumn harvests, the nourishing gardens and the simple pleasure of cooking fresh vegetables picked at maturity, still imbued with the freshness of the earth.
